This plate was not put to press. The imperforate or line perf.14 stamps are from extra sheets which were run off with the imprimatur sheet.

There are two groups of imperforate stamps, with upright or inverted watermark. Of the estimated 120 stamps released only 41 have been recorded. The perforated stamps may have originated from one of these blocks, though evidence is rather sketchy
